Aishalton Airport (AHL)

Aishalton Airport (AHL) is a remote community airstrip serving Aishalton and surrounding villages in Guyana’s Rupununi region. Facilities are centered on a very small terminal/shelter building adjacent to the runway, supporting charter and community flights that link the South Rupununi with Georgetown and other interior settlements. Check‑in is handled informally at a small counter or by the operator on duty, with passengers boarding on foot across the apron. Arrivals walk directly into the public area where baggage is handed back at the building.

The layout is minimal and easy to navigate. From drop‑off to the terminal is under 1 minute. From the terminal to the aircraft is typically a 30–60 second walk depending on parking position. There are no buses, jet bridges, or inter‑terminal transfers—everything is ground‑level and close‑by.

Security screening is not typical for local GA/charter departures, and there are no immigration or customs facilities. Passengers connecting to international services complete border formalities at Cheddi Jagan International (GEO) or Eugene F. Correira/Ogle (OGL). Operators enforce safety and identification checks consistent with local regulations.

Amenities are very limited: basic seating and restrooms when staffed; there are no lounges, restaurants, or retail. Mobile coverage and Wi‑Fi can be inconsistent. All ground transport is pre‑arranged with lodges or local drivers—there is no formal taxi rank. Payment for services in the region is often cash‑based; carry small denominations.

Accessibility is basic but step‑free into the building; staff and operators can assist passengers with reduced mobility. Family facilities are minimal; bring baby supplies, snacks, and water as there are no on‑site shops.
